There are differences between strobe and bulb. 2 big ones are overall
power, with bulbs being amazingly powerful, and duration. Bulbs burn
for intervals like several to many hundredths of a second, and strobes
are basically instantaneous for my purposes anyway. Other than that, I
would be inclined to believe that bulb shots could be well imitated
with a strobe most of the time. I basically never use strobes, in
favor of hot lights, but I sometimes have to in order to capture
action, for which, they are darn handy.
